Prince William and Prince Harry joined King Charles III as Queen Elizabeth II’s casket departed Buckingham Palace for Westminster Hall on Wednesday.
In addition to Charles’ children, the 73-year-old monarch’s siblings, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, walked side by side behind the coffin.
The late Queen was initially transported in a hearse to Buckingham Palace on Tuesday from Balmoral Castle in Scotland, where she died on September 8 at the age of 96.
In Wednesday’s procession, her coffin was pulled by a chariot with her crown on it.
Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle followed the procession in separate cars. The former rode with Queen Consort Camilla, while the latter sat next to Edward’s wife Sophie.
William, 40, and Harry, 37, walked side by side, echoing the positions they took after their mother, Princess Diana, died in August 1997 at the age of 36.
